Are there any ISPs using such fixed wireless technology for access to residential customers who can't get access via DSL or cable? Is there a site which lists them? Are there any in the Western NewYork region?:-) (just thought I'd throw that last one in there).
What if it was the other way around, and TiVO was going under? Obviously you wouldn't be too happy (of course), but the bigger question is: will SONICBlue release the specs of their service, so that others can now provide it ? Would TiVo release these specs if they were going under?
Or will the bankruptcy court treat these as trade secrets, worth some monetary value to the creditors, and prevent the release?
I'm just wondering what the future holds for such fee-based services, where the fees are taken upfront. Will the people who forked over the $300 (or whatever) for "lifetime service" be considered creditors too? Shouldn't they be?
Mathematics is art. A proof from The Book (Erds fans will know what I'm referring to) is as aesthetically appealing as a Renoir or a Van Gogh. There have been many instances where I've read a proof and been moved to tears of joy.
I'm not a mathematician, but mathematics will always be my first love (which might explain the lack of success in <ahem> another area...):-)
Going from "XML sucks" to "XML doesn't suck" isn't clarifying your stance! It is doing a 360. Even Bill "I didn't have sex with that woman" Clinton would have a tough time with this one.
OSS needs a low-bitrate codec. I've been looking to put toether a netmeeting-type open-source app that works on both Linux and Windblows, for use over low(er) speed dialup lines (like 9600bps or thereabouts). This would be the missing piece.
On a related note: if there are any other active projects for a netmeeting-type application (I'm aware of Gnomemeeting, but I'd like to avoid the whole directory/ILS business, and just do simple person-to-person calls, with possible encryption if desired), please post a link.
The author talks about how the existing methods are inadequate for measuring Windows' marketshare. Why not use the UserAgent string (combined with IP addr) at a popular website, and see? I know, proxies etc. could skew the numbers a little, but it would give a fair idea, no?
For a website that I manage, the numbers with this methodology are: 89% visitors running MSIE, and 93.91% visitors running Windows (and 3% running Macs, and 0.5% using Linux).

Common sense tells you that if the number of nodes connected to the (wired) 'net is significantly less than the number of nodes not connected (i.e. on the mesh alone), then you'll have a bottleneck.
Has someone done any simulations on the behaviour of these mesh networks as the number of nodes increases, without an increase in the number of connected (with one foot in each domain) nodes?
Also, will the "max flow min cut" theorem come into play at some point? Will some poor sod who happens to be the "cut point" get hammered beyond belief by having to route all packets?
It looks to me (and I could be totally wrong here, its been known to happen quite often) that this "mesh networks" craze is similar in vein to the "P2P" and "distributed computing" crazes that came along a couple of years ago.
Here's a snippet from the abstract:
The discussion system of the present invention receives a selection of an item that is to be the topic of the discussion. The discussion system then receives comments relating to the selected item and generates a message that includes a description of the selected item and the received comments. The discussion system then sends the generated message to participants of the discussion.
It was filed in 1999. I'm sure there were 100s of sites before that doing this: letting users post comments on websites. Prior art would be abundant.
Looking at all of these patents being granted by the USPTO, I get the impression that they (USPTO) have given up their responsibility of taking a critical look at the patent. They are letting the courts decide whether there was prior art or not.
This begs the question: why bother with checking any prior art anyways? Why not just reduce the USPTO to a "copyright" sort of office, where anybody can file a patent for anything, and the courts decide?
Obviously this patent system is not old Ben had in mind.
OK, then why do companies like Microsoft bitch and moan about individuals releasing exploits before they have had time to "study" the bug (read: sit around and do nothing) ?
"Moral responsibility" is a two-way street: if you (the company) expect me to have some, then show some towards me too.
Yah, right! As if some "do-not-email" list will keep away the spammers who are based in the far-east. If anything, this DNE list will become a convenient source of valid email addresses for the spammers! If I were a resident of these states, I'd stay as far away from it as possible.:-)
By forcing users to identify their browsers as "IE6", Microsoft is padding the statistics at the websites to show that their browser is more popular than it actually is. It is fraud, no doubt about it.
Is it me, or is relying on formatting to obfuscate your code a bit cheesy? IMHO, a true work of art would be nicely formatted and all that, and still be incomprehensible beyond belief.
The lives of
Kalpana Chawla and Ilan Ramon have a parallels: Kalpana's father survived the partition of India in 1947 (India's holocaust), and Ramon's father survived Auschwitz.
I would very much doubt it that Al Qaeda was behind this. Those worms don't have the sophistication. And secondly, and EMP going off on the ground and bringing down a shuttle would be detected all over the world. And thirdly, the shuttle's electronics are protected against space radiation; don't you think they'd do a decent job against a terrestrial EMP too?
Lets not drag OBL and Al Qaeda into every disaster.

Because there already is a Windows Admin book targetted to that audience.

Argh! You are right. I meant "180". Where's the "preview" button on the brain?

YMMV.
OK, its not science literally, but what about Andrew Wiles' proof of FLT ?
I think there are still some nuggets to be found.

I think Ingo'a was a CPU scheduler; this one's a disk (I/O) scheduler.

It is nice to know that Microshaft is not only letting you see what it looks like, they are also letting you feel what it feels like to use it.
I must say I'm impressed. :-)
